New Report Examines Shipping Risks in Canada

The Council of Canadian Academies has released a new report titled Commercial Marine Shipping Accidents: Understanding the Risks in Canada. The Report concludes that “Canada’s waters as a whole have been getting safer over the past decade, with fewer commercial marine shipping accidents.” Of particular interest in the Report are the conclusions associated with the Pacific Region, which experiences the highest level of shipping activity in Canada while having the lowest accident rate and a relatively lower risk profile.
